Air Canada completes acquisition of Aeroplan Loyalty Business

Air Canada announced the successful closing of its purchase of Aimia Canada Inc., owner and operator of the Aeroplan loyalty business, from Aimia Inc. Air Canada also confirmed that Aeroplan Members' Miles will be honoured on a one-to-one basis in Air Canada's new loyalty program when it launches next year, in 2020.

The best reward value for Air Canada flights, plus, unparalleled access to travel on over 40 partner airlines, including the Star Alliance global network;

Canada's best travel rewards credit cards, offered by TD, CIBC and American Express;

More ways to earn and redeem points for travel, upgrades, experiences, on-board product and everyday indulgences;
